Answer:
Option B. 850.64, 91.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Joyce Meadow pays her three workers $160, $470 and $800 respectively per week.
one quarter of the year = 3 months or 13 weeks.
Joyce will pay them = 160 × 13 = $2,080
470 × 13 = $6,110
800 × 13 = $10,400
State rate is 5.6% and federal is 0.6% and Base is $7,000. Which means unemployment needs to be paid on first $7,000 only.
Therefore, state unemployment = (0.056 × 2,080) + (0.056 × 6,110) + (0.056 × 7,000)
= 116.48 + 342.16 + 392
= $850.64
Federal unemployment = (0.006 × 2,080) + (0.006 × 6,110) + (0.006×7,000)
= 12.48 + 36.66 + 42.0
= $91.14
State unemployment = $850.64
Federal unemployment = $91.14
Option B. is the answer.
